Cooling Water and Exponential Funtions

The Water Cooling Experiment
During this lab we measured, using our CBL's and graphing calculators, the change in temperature of a glass of boiling water left to cool in a room. The purpose of the lab is to see how exponential functions can be applied to real-life applications. During the experiment I'm expecting for the water temperature to decrease as soon as the water is taken of off the heating device. If the water is showed first 75 words of 974 total

showed last 75 words of 974 total in that it shows us how exponential functions can be applied to everyday life. Other questions that could follow from this work would be; what if you were to change the elevation? How would the data change in space (vacuum)? Since your body is made up of mostly water, would a forensics expert be able to calculate time of death by what your body temperature is relative to the ambient temperature? If not, why not?
